Featured Reviews

Gabriel Carrejo - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Director, Customer Advocacy at Automation Anywhere
Intent data has sharpened our campaigns and reviews have built trusted customer advocacy
There are probably a few things that would be helpful. Currently, the dashboards are useful and good, but there is room for improvement, especially with the ability to process data using AI. That integration is happening and I cannot wait to see what we are able to do next to really take our program to the next level. It is probably an opportunity to make it easier to convert the data into marketing assets, whether that is the peer papers or the quote cards or the leader badges. Those all exist now, but there is probably a way to make it more dynamic and easier to obtain and tie that to the data, the intent data.
Diego Paradeda - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Philips
Automated infrastructure deployment has reduced our backend release time from days to hours
I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS. We encountered a problem where we needed to use the ID of the RDS in another document that we have, making it difficult to return this information using Upbound Crossplane deployment. I believe Upbound Crossplane could be improved by possibly having a feature that can return tags, IDs, or resources that were deployed inside AWS, such as needing to return the ID of the VPC that we create when using Upbound Crossplane. I think the current state of Upbound Crossplane is already good enough.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"PeerSpot has positively impacted my organization because we use them a lot."
"PeerSpot has positively impacted my organization by bringing in more customer validation in our marketing narratives, which is great because it makes it not just marketers and salespeople telling the story, but customer words, which is really important and resonates well in the market."
"PeerSpot's detailed customer reviews offer my team distinct insights compared to information gleaned from star ratings, badges, or condensed review formats, as the longer reviews provide more opportunities for our customers to leave more detailed feedback and reviews of our products and services."
"Decision-making has improved since decisions are more informed thanks to using PeerSpot."
"We have seen a great return on investment with PeerSpot, as we are able to provide a lot of value-added information to potential new customers, giving us a leg up and authority within our space."
"I say to those looking to create awareness for their products and services, PeerSpot is a must-have in their arsenal."
"As a result of using PeerSpot, I have seen specific outcomes such as more qualified MQLs and more qualified leads, and I would love to continue to explore how we can improve what we are doing now in the future."
"PeerSpot really takes that load off of our customers and partners and gives them the opportunity to share their insights in a much easier way, which is really great."
"Upbound Crossplane impacts my organization positively because, from our perspective, we need to rely on fewer resources."
"We went from having a 28-member troubleshooting team down to four to five members of the platform engineering team."
"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to reduce our deployment time from three days to three hours for the entire back-end and entire infrastructure."
"Upbound Crossplane has impacted our organization positively as it has been a transformative experience because the main thing about transformation is how we were able to make our lives easier as engineers."
"The time required to complete an environment setup was reduced from about one or two weeks to forty to fifty minutes."
"Before choosing Upbound Crossplane, I evaluated various options, but I only found Upbound Crossplane to be the best choice."
"The best features Upbound Crossplane offers are infrastructure as Kubernetes APIs and self-service infrastructure, where developers can provision resources without cloud credentials, and its strong multi-cloud support that makes it useful in managing AWS, Azure, and GCP from a single control plane with valuable GitOps integration."
"When I provisioned PostgreSQL and S3 buckets through Crossplane, I noticed improvements in deployment speed, reliability, and team collaboration."
 

Cons

"PeerSpot can be improved with better AI."
"PeerSpot can be improved in that the leads or the intent leads that we have received do not really fit our customer ICP very well, so we have not gotten a lot of value from those."
"I wish we would dive a little deeper into the lead generation portion and how we can collaborate with our sales teams to improve that experience and reach out to those individuals a little sooner."
"I would focus a bit on the vendor dashboard to make it more intuitive."
"Because we're still fairly new to PeerSpot or I am new to owning the PeerSpot program, we have not seen quantifiable ROI yet, but that is definitely something that we're looking into for the future."
"Despite having generated a lot of reviews, it has been hard to change our ranking or positioning."
"I would like to see multiple options to create links to track campaign success across multiple marketing opportunities."
"Currently, the dashboards are useful and good, but there is room for improvement, especially with the ability to process data using AI."
"The documentation needs to be updated regarding the needed improvements for Upbound Crossplane. There is very little documentation online, and there are no tutorials for Upbound Crossplane."
"Upbound Crossplane was not stable in my experience."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane's capabilities, I feel the governance and security is something which is lacking."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane, I see room for enhancement in synchronizing the state file of Crossplane with Terraform, as 90% of organizations have generally implemented Terraform and have their own specific, environment-specific Terraform state files."
"One area where Upbound Crossplane can be improved is with API rate limiting."
"However, one area of improvement is the learning curve, as Upbound Crossplane concepts such as providers, compositions, and claims can be difficult for beginners."
"I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS."
"Upbound Crossplane can be improved if they can add more AI agentic workflows."
